The reader surface is standing by for the next live story batch.

This page state is a fallback for temporary moments when the public reader surface does not yet have a live published batch ready to show. It is meant to preserve a clean public experience rather than expose unfinished internal language.

The product is designed around automated aviation-story ingest, source-aware rewrites, controlled image handling, and public story pages that can update without manual intervention. When those published records are available, they should take priority over any placeholder state automatically.

If the live feed is healthy, this message should be brief and uncommon, serving only as a graceful bridge between refresh states instead of acting as a persistent homepage substitute.
